Picasa pop-up size and columns?

[rjdarby]

I have a couple of questions(issues) with the plugin. I am using the plugin with Picasa.

1. Is there a way to change the size of the pop-up picture when using Picasa? All my pop-ups are allot smaller than the original. I would like for it to automatically fill the screen or at least be able to set the size to something larger than what is showing. I just read on on the Picasa help site that "we updated the default size for photos served via RSS and embedded images hosted on Picasa Web to 512 pixels if a pixel width wasn't previously specified. As you mentioned, you can manually specify a pixel width to call larger photos, and this change will help us continue working to improve how we serve photos globally. Here is the thread http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/P ... 4356&hl=en

Is there a way now or in future with the next version the user can specify the size he would like for the pop-up


2. If I list 2 columns it appears that It makes 1. There are no pictures in the extra column just empty space. I had to put 3 columns in order to get the 2 columns I wanted but there is allot of wasted space. My blog has 600px for thumbnails to show up and I would like to have 2 columns with thumbnails at 275px. It will not let me do that even though I have the space. Here is a link to show what the issue. http://ciguatemala.com/164/?p=888

Other than those two things your plugin is the best one I found. It works great with Picasa.

The next version will have it. Google changed this recently and I wasn't aware of this change until about 2 weeks back.

This is more due to a clash of styles with your theme. Your theme has this:

Code: Select all

.Post ul li {
    background-image: url("images/PostBullets.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    line-height: 1.2em;
    margin: 0.5em 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 11px;
}

The last line, which adds 11px padding on the left is creating issues. To fix this you can add a couple of lines to your theme's style.css:

Code: Select all

.Post li.photonic-picasa-image {
    padding: 0;
}

Thanks for the quick reply. I look forward to the Picasa popup fix in your next version. I left you a little something in your Paypal account. Merry Christmas!
